I knew a cardiologist who had two thumbs on one hand (though not quite as well developed as these pictures). "Harry! What's 5 + 6?" He'd hold up both hands and say, "11!"

"When are around so my husband can come grab it" "What’s your address so I will have my cousin come pick it up by 4:pm, I will make the payment now using Zelle so you can mark it as sold on your listing." Sounds good, so my assistant will come over to pick it up herself because I’m not available to do that for now due to my condition and I’m out of town but my assistant stays closer to you so she will come over to pick it These are typical messages I've gotten. They all want to pay via Zelle.

@taiwan_girl said in Tesla self-driving mode.: So, was that a parody? Quoting myself, but at the very end, the guy that they list as the producer is the guy who has a show called "Curb Your Enthusiasm". Not sure if that was added to make the back part a joke, or if the front part was a joke

@Mik said in Roast Beast - question for the cooks: Never had that problem, so I couldn't tell you. From specs: Temperature range: 32° F ~ 572 ° F; (Short-time measurement); 32° F~ 482 ° F (continuous monitoring) So I'd guess 450 or less. Should be adequate. Alright. That will be a Cyber Monday gift from Santa… The Turkey almost took a left turn when I had lost 75 degrees in 30 minutes unexpectedly… Unfortunately, the oven was completely loaded with sides so I couldn’t just transfer. I had to build the temp back up one briquette at a time, with a whole lot of blowing…

Speaking of, I had a conversation with a guy this week, who is running a fleet of Chevys. He will not buy one with a 5.3, after multiple bad experiences. He buys the trucks with the 6.2 and has been happy. Less mpg, but many of his trucks have hit 200k without major problems.

@jon-nyc said in Happy Thanksgiving from Disney: @Mik said in Happy Thanksgiving from Disney: I bet Donald wondered where Daisy was in the first one. Perhaps he knew right where she was - under the table. I thought Snow was giving him a handie…

Yeah, there are a lot of good bands out there. For those who become superstar, there is definitely some luck involved - being in the right place at the right time.

I have been at the controls, a couple times, when the plane was being hand-propped. Terrifying. I was sure I would take his head off, or at least a few fingers. I was pressing the brakes as hard as I could. But it was no big deal.

@George-K said in Thanksgiving Spread (2023): Also, did anyone notice that Ax said "Y'all?" The End Times are upon us.

@LuFins-Dad said in Smoke it?: I’m starting to regret my choice… I love smoked turkey breast, but I also love dark meat… I was the only one at the table who enjoyed some of the dark meat from our turkey. Am I an idiot? I always find it tastes a bit better and juicier than the white meat. Of course it all tastes good when you drown it in gravy and add some cranberry orange sauce.

Great rub choice! Glad it turned out well.

I hate to boast, but I'm pretty sure that's the UK. They don't even do Thanksgiving there, although she looked quite thankful.

It would have been funny if her boyfriend had said “yep, I own that woman”.
